Jonathan Colon and Francisco Burgado are accused in a wild night of crime, which began outside a restaurant around 10:30. Police said a man was mugged and pistol-whipped there.

A few minutes later, near a nightclub, the suspects mugged a couple. Police say the couple resisted and chased the suspects, who opened fire.

An innocent bystander was shot and rushed to the hospital.

That couple wrestled one of the suspects to the ground and held him for police while the other led police on a chase, which ended in Methuen.

"We heard a screech then a really loud bang and then the lights went out," said resident Rich McCauley. "When I got the street, the door was open to the vehicle, and then the law enforcement showed up with their guns drawn."

Police said the gun involved in the shooting outside the nightclub was reported stolen from Manchester, New Hampshire.
